Mr. Adams then spoke to the students in the schools Shul, yet instead of lecturing he had the students tell him what they like best about school and was interested in hearing what student’s hobbies were. Some answered that they like math most others said it was Gemara but recess was not left out. Mr. Adams went on to say that it is though education that we can combat anti-Semitism and racism, commenting on the recent hate crimes in the community.

Afterwards the students posed for a picture together with the Senator following which they shook his hand. On his way out he said he had a few other stops to still make on the rainy Friday in a number of other schools in Crown Heights.
